He's known her for her whole life, but he's never thought of her like this until now.
House parties are notoriously dangerous for the gentleman who wishes to remain single, and Roger Shelton would be avoiding the one at the Abernathys' if it wasn't his best friend's birthday.
Victoria Hamilton is only attending the Abernathys' house party to please her mother. She has no thought of finding a husband amongst the hopeful gentlemen in attendance. In fact, she expects that the party will be rather dull. However, when her friend arrives, boredom becomes the least of her worries.
While Roger is not ready to give up his bachelor ways just yet, he's not opposed to helping others find their way to marital bliss -- especially, if that someone is a marriage-minded miss who seems to be fond of him. Therefore, when Roger enlists Victoria's help in his matchmaking scheme, he only means to keep himself safe from being caught in the parson's trap.
However, his intentions change along the way, when he discovers that avoiding marriage is the last thing he wants to do for there is a lady who has long held his heart. It is a realization that has been a long time coming, but with schemers playing their games, is it a realization which is made too late?
His Darling Friend is book 2 in Leenie Brown's Touches of Austen series of sweet Regency romances. If you like stories featuring roguish heroes with a flair for being shocking and heroines who blush and scold as a result, you'll enjoy this tale about best friends discovering that sometimes the perfect match is as close as boy or girl next door.
So, put the kettle on, grab your copy of His Darling Friend, and join Roger and Victoria at the Abernathy's house party where scheming gone wrong is the entertainment of choice.
Although it has been years since she cowered in her bed in her grandparents' basement, she still has an imagination which occasionally runs away with her, and she feeds it now as she did then ─ by reading!
Her heroes, when growing up, were authors, and the worlds they painted with words were (and still are) her favourite playgrounds! She was that child, under the covers with the flashlight, reading until the wee hours of the morning…and pretending not to be tired the next day so her mother wouldn't find out.
In addition to feeding her imagination, she also exercises it ─ by writing. While writing has been an activity she has dabbled in over the years, it blossomed into a full-fledged obsession when she stumbled upon the world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction. Leenie had first fallen in love with Jane Austen's work in her early teens when she was captivated by the tale of a girl, who like her, was the second born of five daughters. Now, as an adult, she spends much time in the regency world, playing with the characters from her favourite Jane Austen novels and a few that are of her own creation.
When she is not traipsing down a trail in an attempt to keep up with her imagination, Leenie resides in the beautiful province of Nova Scotia with her two sons and her very own Mr. Brown (a wonderful mix of all the best of Darcy, Bingley and Edmund with a healthy dose of the teasing Mr. Tilney and just a dash of the scolding Mr. Knightley).
